Patient's question:
I heard that people with hand, foot, and mouth disease get peeling tongue. Does hand, foot, and mouth disease cause the tongue to peel?Doctor's answer:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease children will develop blisters in the mouth, besides the tongue. Currently, the child may have a low-grade fever. If the child has high fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, it is necessary to take the child to the hospital for follow-up promptly. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is highly contagious, so it is essential to sterilize the child's clothing, toys, and room promptly. It is best to avoid taking the child to public places to play. Additionally, pay attention to rest and avoid staying up late.
